For the rest of the of the paysites out there, most are going to retain members for 2 months and might squeeze out a 3rd month if they have a hellacious live/recorded feed area so it comes down to having a shitload of content so that it takes the surfer 2-3 months to go through it all.

Your stuff is good - nobody denies that - but if I can get 2 to 3 times the content for the same price you charge, sombody else is going to get my $'s. True, it won't be as good as you could produce, but I don't need it to be.

The average surfer could care less if you use a superdooper high shutterspeed laser rangefinder camera with whatchamacallit filtering or monochrome film with lighting that brings out the models eyes....

Are the girls pretty? Is it in focus? Are there lots of money shots?
Pull out dick and whack off to pictures then.........

You'll be a hell of a salesman if you can persuade people to pay lawyer rates in a world where they only need a paralegal.
Good post and very good points.

I disagree with the conclusion about people will not pay ar stay around for better porn, simply on the examples you give, Alsscan and sites in this area seem to retain better. Including our site.

But you have not answered my intitial question in fact you have backed it up.

If it sells so well why are exclusive shooters selling it so cheap?
